Once they get past the 30" mark they really do prefer their handouts for food, chasing down some snacks just doesn't have the appeal that it did when they are smaller... it's between now and then that you need to worry about tankmates LOL
I'd be more worried with what you will feed them all once they are large. Trust me I have a 36" tsn x rtc, 3 tsn, 1 rtc, 1 rtc x marble, 1 channel, 2 Irridescent sharks, 1 black bullhead, 2 limas, 3 plecos, 2 oscars, 1 jag, 1 ckf, 1 D. sexafasciatus, and 1 tetra(somehow never got eaten?). I'm sure john feeds way more than I do, but it's still not cheap to feed up to 5-7 lbs of shrimp to your fish per week.

Just for gee-wiz I broke ground on my big tank for my cats. Final measurements will be 14'x8'x4'. Not derailing this thread cause that's the size tank I decided would suite my cats best, but may not be an option for everyone.
oh its alright....its not derailing the tread...=) and i kinda agree that the measurements that you gave out is great for big cats
well ever since i made this thread i now decided that im going to have 1 manguense...my male one...and a couple of peacock basses different varieties....like 4xtemensis and 4xorinos,RTC x TSN,3x Commom Plecos,and Oxydoras Niger,and possibly 1xJardini Arowana...if possible...i have seen many catfishes with these arowana fighters....and i know by experience that these guys are very aggressive....so i will have to take very high precautions when having them all together
oh yea....should i worry about the Jardini jumping out of the pond? or should i worry about it? and if so...what should i do to prevent it from him jumping out to its death?
